Long tube headers or stock manifolds?

Good topic, it presents many different opinions. With our A bodies(67 to 69 cudas for sure) there is the problem of installation , then ground clearance and the regular headaches you can have with headers if you don't maintain them. The manifolds, if they are the HP type do flow quite well but do not perform as well as the headers but with little or no problems. They can be cleaned up to match the heads and will do quite nice. On the other side you don't get that wonderfull header sound that all car guys love. I have been told that the TTI headers, although expensive are the best way to go for ground clearance and instalation. As you may be able to tell by now I have been struggling with this decision also. Just my 2 cents. :roll:
